I specifically watched the 15U group, so I have a decent handle on the prospects that stood-out in a major way. It was a tough task to select only five prospects for the first-team, with so much talent in the 15U group. Lots of high-level guys still to talk about.
With the first-team selections, there was an emphasis on prospects on teams that had successful weekends, in terms of winning games.
Maddox Coppola Maddox Coppola 6'1" | PG Dowling Catholic | 2026 State IA – 6’2” G (2026) – Iowa Battlers Black – Maddox was a game-changer and impacted the game greatly. He led his team to a 4-0 record in Division B. Good overall size, with an athletic and lean/muscular build. He moves with speed and power, with no wasted movement. Tough to contain when he gets going downhill at the hoop. To round things out, he can shoot the rock as well. Stock up
Blake Ellwein Blake Ellwein 6'8" | SF Huron | 2026 State SD – 6’6” Wing (2026) – Team Warwick 15U – Coming into the event, my eyes were going to be on Ellwein, just because he’s considered an elite prospect in the 2026 class. Not only an elite prospect, Ellwein happened to have an impactful weekend ,helping Team Warwick 15U going 4-0 in the top division. The game seems slowed down to him and he sees the floor well as a passer that makes the right play with the ball. He also shot the three at an elite level, with a high release with his 6’6” frame. He was getting up and dunking in transition as well.
Ban Yor – G/Wing (2026) – Lifeline Elite Sports 2026 – Yor was one of the top overall individual prospects and earned first-team honors. He may have been the most valuable to his team out of all the 15U prospects. He made his team go and played heavy minutes, carrying a major load. He is an elite isolation prospect that has a nasty crossover series to get by the defense, using length. He most definitely emptied the tank this weekend.

– 6’0” G (2026) – Sanford Sports 2026 Grey – Stellen is a dude. He’s a major two-way playmaker for a 2026 Grey team that went 4-0 in the C division. He’s always around the loose ball defensively, with quick hands and feet, normally coming up with the ball. He’s built with a muscular frame, can score in all ways, and must be defended closely with consistency.
Abakar Miganoudji Abakar Miganoudji 6'5" | PF Fargo South | 2026 State ND – 6’5” Wing/F/C (2026) – Beyond the Game (BTG) 2026 – You don’t need to watch this guy for long to realize he’s the real deal. A super-long prospect that can play away from the hoop offensively and defend the bigs inside. He can get up high for boards and then go into transition and be instant offense for his team. Has an impressive handle on the ball and can handle it at full-speed. Truly a position-less and highly versatile prospect. The up-and-comer out of North Dakota had a recorded 33-point game.
